Mata Ortiz is located the Mexican state of Chihuahua about 4.5 hours south and west of El Paso, Texas, United States. It is a small town with adobe dwellings at the foothills of the Sierra Madre Occidental, along the banks of the Palanganas River. One critical element to the development of ceramics in Mata Ortiz is its proximity to the Casa Grandes (or Paquimé) archaeological site. Paquimé is one of the most important archeological sites in northwest Mexico/Southwest U.S. region and the center of the Mogollon culture. This culture reached its peak around 1400, with evidence of its influence hundreds of kilometers from its center in present-day Chihuahua state. Mata Ortiz pottery is a recreation of the Mogollon pottery found in and around Casas Grandes (Paquimé).
